well when you have relatives or maybe had a learning disability yourself and are very Self-conscious, someone saying that can seem a little insensitive ,
if it was say your Brother or Sister and they already don't want to go anywhere because they can't take heartless people in general ,and then they hear "don't be a retard or tard ,and they are hurt by it ,even if it wasn't directed at them ,
I have an autistic brother in law ,2 special needs grandkids ,so i can get someone taking offense
